WARDELL, Mo. —

An investigation continues in southeast Missouri after a live grenade and bomb-making materials were found inside a home, authorities said.

KFVS-TV reported that the Pemiscot County Sheriff's Department received a call Saturday about an intoxicated person, leading them to a home in Wardell. That's where sheriff's deputies said they found a live grenade, bomb-making materials, drugs and several weapons.

Sheriff Tommy Greenwell said 48-year-old Harold Kentner was arrested. He is facing several charges and is jailed with $200,000 bail set.

Kentner's wife said her husband isn't dangerous and never intended to cause harm.
